If the Playoffs started today, the following teams would be in:

 

AFC:

East : Patriots with #1 seed. They have clinched a playoff spot, but have not yet clinched the division

North: Steelers. They have clinched a playoff spot but have not clinched the division. They have the division lead because of a better division record, 4-1 vs. 2-2, over the Ravens

South: Colts. They have the lead over the Jags due to a better record in common games 5-4 vs. 4-5

West: Chiefs

Wildcards: Ravens with #5 seed (by virtue of win over Jets). Jets.

 

Still in the hunt: Jags for South title, currently with same record with Colts. Chargers for West title, 1 game behind Chiefs.

Both are technically in the hunt for a wildcard if Jets and Ravens should lose both remaining games and they would win both games. Same is true for Colts if they don't win the South.

 

NFC:

East: Eagles

North: Bears who have clinched their division

South: Falcons with #1 seed. They have clinched a playoff spot, but not the division

West: Rams, by virtue of victory over Seahawks

Wildcards: Saints, Giants

 

Still in the hunt: Packers and Bucs for the wildcards, 49ers for the West division title.

 

Big games this week: 49ers vs. Rams (yes a 5-9 team vs. a 6-8 team in week 16 is a big game); Giants vs Packers, very critical for NFC wildcard race. Saints vs. Falcons Supremacy in NFC South is still at stake.

How sad is the NFC West that a 7-9 team could be the division winner....
